Went for lunch with a friend and enjoyed the time there. The food was awesome, as always, and the service was great. We never felt rushed and the server was there for us. Great wine too!
If there was a "zero" option for service, this is what I would have given this restaurant. I have been here twice and both times took THREE HOURS to leave. One of the times we went was Valentine's Day and they had a set menu that still took 3 hours to serve. We were unable to make our movie after dinner because of the length of time we were there.
Worst service I have ever experienced in my life. The waiter came around maybe once every hour.
Food was overpriced and not worth the wait. You can get much better food at any small North East restaurant that charges less than half as much.
The only thing this restaurant has going for it is its decor but once you've stared at it for 3 hours, for seem reason it doesn't seem as nice.
At the end of the night, when the bill arrived the server was very nice to make up for the hours he had spent ignoring us and wanted his tip.
I would not recommend this restaurant unless you have ample time to spare and want to pay a lot of money to sit there and be ignored for 3 hours except to bring out your food.

If you are looking for service DO NOT go to Mango Shiva! We had a 7:30 reservation last night and after being ignored by ALL the staff that walked by us by the front door for 15 minutes, we were tempted to walk right back out and would have done if we weren't meeting friends there.
The service did not improve after we were finally seated. Having to ask for the same glass of wine 3 times is not my idea of good service. At least my second glass of wine we only had to ask for twice. Our mains sat in front of us for at least 5 minutes without rice, naan and cutlery.
The food was ok, but honestly the service was so poor that it took away from any positives.
I wish Calgary restaurants would pay less attention to the decor and more attention to the customers who keep them in business. I'm fed up with paying for crap service and mediocre food in this city.
The waiter knew we were unhappy with him when we had to flag another waiter over to finally take our main course order.
The most attention he paid to us was at the end of the evening when he dropped off the cheque and clearly was trying to save face in order to influence us at the time of tipping. Don't get me wrong I'm all for giving good tips when the service warrants it, but the fact that you are expected to tip when the service is crap infuriates me!
Don't waste your time and money on this place!

Had Veggie Korma with mom (lunch), who had some type of chicken dish, probably Butter Chicken (she's not too adventurous). The Korma was excellent, warm and quite spicy. The textures (type) of veggies were my favorite, small and crunchy. Definately order some nan to go with this dish. Mostly work lunch crowd there for buffet, which is reasonable. Menu is reasonable.
